1 Timothy 4:6-10
Christian Standard Bible
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith(A) and the good teaching that you have followed.(B) 7 But have nothing to do with pointless and silly myths.(C) Rather, train yourself in godliness.(D) 8 For the training of the body has limited benefit,(E) but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.(F) 9 This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.(G) 10 For this reason we labor and strive,[a] because we have put our hope in the living God,(H) who is the Savior(I) of all people,(J) especially of those who believe.

1 Timothy 4:6-10
New American Standard Bible
A Good Minister’s Discipline
6 In pointing out these things to (A)the brothers and sisters, you will be a good (B)servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the (C)good doctrine which you (D)have been following. 7 But [a]stay away from (E)worthless (F)stories that are typical of old women. Rather, [b]discipline yourself for the purpose of (G)godliness; 8 for (H)bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but (I)godliness is beneficial for all things, since it (J)holds promise for the (K)present life and also for the life to come. 9 (L)It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. 10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set (M)our hope on (N)the living God, who is (O)the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers.
